Body Modification
This fascinating collection explores the growing range of body modification practices such as piercing, tattooing, branding, cutting and inserting implants, which have sprung up recently in the West. It asks whether this implies that we are returning to traditional tribal practices of inscribing identities onto bodies on the part of 'modern primitives', or is body modification better understood as purely cosmetic and decorative with body markings merely temporary signs of transferable loyalties?

The Model Man
Edward William Bok was the most famous Dutch-American in early twentieth-century America thanks to his thirty-year editorship of the Ladies’ Home Journal, the most prestigious women’s magazine of the day.

ONLY A MEMORY AWAY
A dark, mysterious stranger…even to himself Judd Maxwell had no memories. No past. He had nothing to call his own—except a recurring nightmare that left him sweat drenched and shaken…and certain that his nightly terrors would come true. Social worker Karen Thomas was assigned to help "John Doe" regain his memory, but nothing about Judd Maxwell added up. Every clue she uncovered to his past resulted in another question. The only sure thing was that she was falling in love with a stranger…. Judd asked Karen for just one night of rapture, but his constant fear remained: when his memory returned, would the nightmare of doubt end, or had he unwittingly put her life—and his—in jeopardy?
